This Short Film HEAD ON Has Apparently Been Commissioned by Steven Speilberg

This short film called Head On was directed by a third year graduate student at USC School of Cinematic Art named Michael Koerbel. The film follows a boy who uses his imagination to connect with a girl on a New York City subway. 

Koerbel claims that that the project was commissioned by Steven Speilberg, and that Spielberg also picked the music used in the film. It would be cool if this was all, but there's no proof to back up his claim. The film was shot on the RED Camera, with all of the animation and compositing completed in Adobe After Effects. The whole thing was conceived and completed in 10 days.
